Question Very Weird PC Booting Problem

[Toppernick]

Hello, I've been having some issues with my desktop the last couple days. Here are my specs:

• CPU: Intel Core i5 14400F, 6 P-Core, 4 E-Core, 16-Thread
• GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 4070 Super Ventus 2X
• Motherboard: Gigabyte B760M-C
• RAM: TeamGroup Delta RGB 32GB DDR5 6000MHz (2x16GB)
• SSD: Kingston 1TB NVMe SSD
• PSU: ABS 750W 80+ Gold

My computer was working fine until I noticed my Ram LEDs weren't the right color, so I tried fixing it by using my motherboards program RGBFusion, which didn't work, so I downloaded my motherboards other program, Gigabyte Control Center, not aware that it supposedly causes many problems, and that didn't work either.

I saw that I had some updates for my pc in that so I updated them, restarted my pc, and got to a boot failure detected screen. I saw online to reset bios to default which I did, and when I restarted it everything was fine until the next day.

It's now stuck in a "preparing automatic repair" loop and after a couple of restarts it just freezes. My computer will refuse to go into recovery mode as well. I've tried pressing F keys and shutting it down when it turns on 3 times in a row, did not work.

I've tried Reinstalling windows 11 with a usb, with media creation tool as well as with rufus, it still freezes at the logo. I did it with and without the SSD in. It shows up on my bios so it's being recognized, and I made sure to switch the boot order. I've tried turning XMS off and on. Then I successfully updated my bios to the newest version, no problems there but it didn't help.

Finally I noticed my ram sticks, and they're both supposed to be 16gb sticks, so I'm very confused at why one of them is 256gb. My bios says total ram is like 278578mbs of ram. Then I successfully reset my CMOS, and the 16gb stick is now not recognized, only the 256gb one is. I've switched both of them around to all slots, and the LEDS still work.

I'm at a loss of what next step I can do, I'm not sure if my SSD is corrupted, or if somehow I fried both of my RAM sticks at once, any help would really be appreciated.

You can't fix hardware problem with software. You have to check memory health first. Warning light for it doesn't come on because of windows.
